Yes, people were making a big fuss about this when the F30 first came out. Lots of people were saying they don't like the sport line because of the red trim, but you have to specify it when ordering. You don't have to get it if you don't want it. I ordered it for my car. I really like it. It adds a nice splash of color.

Of course, some people hate it, and we're about to hear from them shortly. People are going to post how hideous it looks.

But lots of folks on the 'feast have it.

When I ordered my Sport Line, my Wife questioned the red trim and insisted she would not like it. Now, each time she sits in my car, she runs her fingers on the red trim and tells me how much she like the red!? (krash, what was your #2 worst sin, do not let your Wife pick your color?) Furthermore, I added the Sport Line All Weather Mats with the red trim (same cost as the all black, but mats not in the signature picture as they had to be ordered when I bought the car) and she has also commented on how nice they look with the red trim!? The Red trim key fob is also really sweeet!

Yeah, i actually said that.

LOL!

Funny, because I showed my wife a picture of the car I ordered and she really liked the red stripe alot. My kids do too.

I didn't ask their opinion before I ordered of course. I had to stick to my rules.

I hate the red trim and it looks hideous.

No seriously, I considered the red trim for my Sportline but ultimately decided on Anthracite. The red was a little too bright for me when I looked at it at the dealer but to each his own. I don't think its hideous - just preferred the anthracite.

Can't wait to get my car and see it live and in person.

I told my Wife I could not decide on a Silver or Blue exterior (OK I know where I made my mistake) but... I was getting the Everest Gray interior with the Red trim. I liked the Silver color a lot but neighbors on each side of me and two across the street all have Silver sedans. Therefore, as not to blend in too much, I went Blue. With 3 different Blues to choose (Liquid Blue (the Baby Blue color), Imperial Blue (Navy Blue) and Estoril Blue), I would find the ideal color. The Estoril Blue was my Favorite, however, do I pay the extra $1,350 for the color and then lose the Red Trim? My Wife's comment on the Estoril Blue was, "it says Mid-life crisis all over it." Then she saw a Carbon Black color on the dealer showroom floor and stated that is the most masculine color here, get this one (No dear, I can afford a 3-series for $50K not a 6-series at $120K (it was an M-sport 6-series... after that, she decided that I should get the darkest blue I could get)). Then she saw the Imperial Blue, said this is it, therefore, I let her say she picked the color. I got my Blue with the Everest Gray Leather and Red trim. The Gray offsets the Blue very nice, the red really adds a sporty flavor. When is the expected delivery on your new car? Is it in production yet?
